These iconic cookies are usually found at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, but they are easily adapted to home kitchens. This deliciously chewy Molasses Crackle Cookies recipe packs in molasses and all the holiday flavor we could crave, which makes them perfect whether you want to leave them out for Santa or save them all for yourself.
All you need for these Molasses Crackle Cookies are canola oil, sugar, molasses (we recommend dark vs. blackstrap for this recipe), an egg, flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and clove. Even if you’re a casual baker, you likely have most of this in your kitchen already. Plus, the recipe is easy to follow—just remember you need to reserve a half-cup of sugar to get that trademark crackle on top of the cookies.

Dark, sticky-sweet molasses is the key ingredient in some of our coziest recipes, including our own version of molasses cookies. The deep, rich flavor is as sweet as sugar but lends a subtler quality that somehow signals cooler weather. Want more molasses? These sweet and savory molasses recipes will hit the spot!
